You might have heard this saying before…
“Count Your Blessings”

Gratitude And the Law of Attraction
The metaphysical aspect of gratitude is incredible.
It almost blew me away when I discovered what it was all about… But it all made sense and clicked with me!
Remember how I said gratitude is a key aspect of a mindful living?
Well, let’s talk about that…
Since gratitude leads to a happier you, then cultivating an attitude of gratitude will aid in raising your vibration.
Your state of vibration is what determines what you get or not get in life!
Literally , EVERYTHING in your life is determined by your state of vibration.

Ok let’s continue with learning how gratitude can affect your life!
The law of attraction states that negativity attracts more negativity into your life, and likewise, positivity and happiness attract more of themselves into your life!
What an incredible concept, right?
Picture it…
Being grateful makes you positive, and positivity brings you more positivity!
In turn, the more grateful you become, the more you invite positivity into your life and…
The cycle continues.
Be grateful, for everything, and wonderful things happen.

Being Grateful Brings Optimism!
Gratitude brings you into the “glass is half-full” attitude.
Being grateful not only supercharges your happiness and manifesting abilities, but it makes you into an overall pleasant, optimistic person to be around!
Pessimism, on the other hand, leads to nothing but sadness and unpleasant manifestation!
To quote the incredible Jim Rohn:
“The poor pessimist looks out the window, doesn’t see the sunset,
he sees the specks on the window!” -Jim Rohn
Strive to see the sunset!
Optimism is an incredible mindset, you’re going to love it and everything it brings to you!

Grateful Habits
Your daily habits can make you or break you! To be more grateful and cultivate an attitude of gratitude, here are a few habits to keep in mind!
Let’s keep it simple and effective, the best combination!
1. Be Conscious of What You Feed Your Brain
In a way, the mind is like a copy machine, what you get is a direct result of what you put in.
That’s why, it’s essential to only put in the good stuff!
Make it a habit to watch what media you consume, things like modern news strive on making you feel negative.
Don’t believe me, just turn on your TV to any mainstream media channel and notice the difference between how you feel when you started vs. after one hour of watching the news. The crazy part is, most people start their day by tuning into the news.
From my experience, I can assure you that it’s nearly impossible to become truly happy when you start your day with so much negativity! I mean, how can you be grateful if the world around you is crumbling, right?
Well, the reality is that we’ve never been better.
More and more people are waking up to the fact that they are Divine Beings of Light and that they are meant to live an abundant life. They are realizing their sovereignty and starting to heal their wounds and traumas through forgiveness and compassion.
I feel that the entire world is going through an awakening of some type. Can you relate?
From my personal experience, I can confidently tell you that when I tuned the news out and started to focus on what I can control in my life, everything shifted.
So, I picked up the habit of watching educational training instead of watching TV. Also, I switched from the News to Podcasts from trusted sources that align with my values. That helped me to stay informed but not overloaded with negativity. My favorite podcast at the moment is The School of Greatness By Lewis Howes.
The world is still beautiful! You might have to look a little bit harder, but there’s still lots of beauty out there.
Feed your brain goodness and you can’t help but feel more grateful!

2. Keep a Gratitude Journal
Nothing builds an attitude of gratitude more than having a gratitude journal.
Hear me out…by keeping a gratitude journal, you’re consciously choosing to spend your time looking for things that are good in your life.
I have made it a daily habit of mine to write three things I am grateful for in my journal right before I retire to bed. That way, the last thoughts I had were positive ones.
Simply incorporate some form of writing what you are grateful for and you’ll be amazed at how that alone will change your happiness level.
3. Create Daily Rituals
Another incredible gratitude-building activity is daily rituals.
By developing daily rituals that allow you to feel good, you’re going to have a great time! When you have a great time, you raise your vibration and allow things to manifest at east.
Here are a few ideas:
- Morning Routine
- Evening Routine
- Daily Walks/Stretches
Remember, we’re all blessed beyond measures! We’ve all been given this incredible gift called “life”.
We’ve got to use it wisely, but keep in mind that the Universe/God/Spirit has your back.
Be grateful, be at ease and live your life to fullest!
